The Wrestlers (also known as The Two Wrestlers, The Uffizi Wrestlers or The Pancrastinae) is a Roman marble sculpture after a lost Greek original of the third century BCE. It is now in the Uffizi collection in Florence, Italy.
Wrestlers is a composition of 1899 by Thomas Eakins ( Goodrich catalog #317-319). The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) owns the finished oil painting and an oil sketch. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a somewhat smaller, unfinished version in oils. All depict two nearly naked men engaged in a wrestling match. One figure has the other in a half nelson and crotch hold. Eakins painted the work from the models and a nearly identical photograph. The men are shown at the Quaker City Barge Club, which once stood on Philadelphia's Boathouse Row.
The finished version (Goodrich catalog G-317) joined the LACMA collection in 2006, long after the oil sketch (Goodrich catalog G-318), which came in the 1920s. Philadelphia's unfinished version (G-319), acquired in 1926, is thought to be an abandoned version of the work, rather than a study for G-317, being painted before either LACMA work.
